This was found by code inspection, then checked with a focused
Coccinelle rule (I do not have the hardware to check it).

Rule:

@ignored_regmap_read@
position p;
expression map, reg, val;
@@

regmap_read@p(map, reg, val);

@script:python depends on ignored_regmap_read@
p << ignored_regmap_read.p;
@@

coccilib.report.print_report(p[0], "ignored regmap_read() return value")

@ignored_regmap_update_bits_check@
position p;
expression map, reg, mask, val, change;
@@

regmap_update_bits_check@p(map, reg, mask, val, change);

@script:python depends on ignored_regmap_update_bits_check@
p << ignored_regmap_update_bits_check.p;
@@

coccilib.report.print_report(p[0], "ignored regmap_update_bits_check() return value")



Before the patch:
$ spatch --very-quiet --cocci-file /tmp/ignored-regmap-access.cocci /tmp/cs35l56_hda-before.c
/tmp/cs35l56_hda-before.c:187:1-12: ignored regmap_read() return value
/tmp/cs35l56_hda-before.c:212:1-25: ignored regmap_update_bits_check() return value

After the patch:
$ spatch --very-quiet --cocci-file /tmp/ignored-regmap-access.cocci sound/hda/codecs/side-
codecs/cs35l56_hda.c

No matches.
